Liverpool vs Manchester United: Jurgen Klopp insists he would quit club if he didn’t think Premier League title was possible
JURGEN KLOPP admits he would quit Liverpool if he did not think he could win the Premier League.
The German has spent two years as Reds chief but has not been able to mount a title challenge.
And defeat against Manchester United would leave Kop 10 points behind their bitter rivals.
He said: “In the moment when I think we cannot be successful, there is only consolation – I go.
“Why should I be here as some kind of caretaker until the world creates a manager who can be more successful?
"That makes no sense. I don’t think I am the perfect manager – I only think I am the perfect fit for this club.

"And I feel already much more responsible than maybe I should.
“I don’t even think about going from my side and saying, ‘That’s it’. I really think we are on the right way.”
Liverpool spent big this summer but Klopp feels his title rivals have an edge financially.

He added: “Can we dominate them for the next 20 years without spending the same amount? Probably not, but can we still be there? Yes of course. And we want to force this.
“We want to be consistent, constant at our high level and improve it. And when we lose a player in the future we want to bring in other players.
"That’s the benefit of a long-term project. I know the owners are not in doubt about me, about us, about anything.”
